Hi hinnk, review follows: article created 2 July and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources for the subject; that it was Dukakis's first film is mentioned in the article and checks out to the source cited; that it was an avant-garde film is mentioned in the article but not explicitly cited, I am happy with this given the sources used ("Home Movies of the Avant-Garde" "...The American Avant-Garde"); I don't have access to the offline sources but found no issues with overly close paraphrasing from the online sources. Just awaiting a QPQ and I think this will be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 08:17, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
QPQ at Template:Did you know nominations/Lady Tacos de Canasta. Agree that it's unlikely anyone would suggest Twice a Man isn't an experimental film, but to be on the safe side, Sitney's Visionary Film: The American Avant-Garde, 1943–2000 does explicitly make that connection (it's the last sentence in the Themes section). hinnk (talk) 19:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, hinnk. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 15:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
